You guys are awesome. I'm not an artist. I'm not a musician. I'm just a guy that likes making music. Your music inspires me, and your words inspire me. The #1 song on the charts right now -- whatever it is -- is forgettable. But your music AND the other work you do is meaningful and unforgettable to ME. Thanks for what you do. Please never stop. Sincerely, A random internet algorithm data point (Call me Jay)

Such an inspiring conversation. The biggest take aways for me were that as artists we should allow ourselves time to discover our voice, and time for that voice to be discovered. And, to not let the problems we are faced with deter us from creating our best work. I feel those of us who truly understand both of those things will be doing this for life.

"breakbeat is coming back" something ive heard people say for 15 years now

“Can they remember it, do they want to come back to it?” - that’s it right there.

Every creator should watch this video. So valuable. Thank-you

A great, honest conversation, thank you

Time to start that Notre-Dame Petition. I mean seriously.. it's just been two itsy bitsy tiny fires.. the gall on them people.

Bach wrote over 1100 pieces over his 65 years. He started writing by 15. He constantly went back to older compositions to rework them. He was never satisfied in his pursuit of perfecting his creations to his personal satisfaction. Pretty sure he was not making jingles for TV & radio, but he earned a living by church salary, private lessons teaching, gigs, commissioned pieces, and a tiny bit from publishing. Imagine his shock at how seminal his artistic creations. Bach did not realize this. He just developed from his soul. JNJ does not realize this either - he is right there. One of the most amazing artists that have come along in a millennia.

I feel like this conversation is lifting a cloud over my inner child that I have been feeling for years. Thank you greatly.

Thank you for all the light

Tony Anderson is my spirit animal.

Great chat. Needs to be more honesty like this online

Thank you guys !! You are the best ❤

Love the music, love the humour...

One thing I’ll push back on - part of art is not only putting art out, but often fighting the current power structures. Whether it’s calling out Spotify or whatever. I think we can do both. I think it’s bad to think we just have to accept things as they are - I think we need to create AND speak to issues around us. We shouldn’t use events around us to paralyze us. But we should speak about them. Just my perspective.

So good. This conversation is so valuable and encouraging. Thank you so much!

Respect to you both for being so honest, realistic and courage people to focus on what is important for each individual in the creation process. For me it is the creative that is the key and if someone enjoys what I create, fantastic and if people don't like it is all good because we're on different path frequency. Thx for the talk about this subject

This conversation truly resonated with me. Thank you.

Jameson, not many people has the brain capacity to handle Tony’s shenanigans 😂😂😂 you did well. As his long time fan I love it. We all have little child in us, don’t we? :P

I loved the interview! Thank you both so much for your time and generosity. I totally agree with Tony's initial summary.

This conversation about the business of music represents so much more than that. It speaks to the much larger issue that has encompassed all of life as we know it today…..money and greed has stolen our freedom and destroyed all creativity and authenticity, not just in music, but in all aspects of living. I pray that enough of us awaken to what Tony so eloquently speaks to here and we break free from it. Brilliant conversation on many levels.

brilliant, the sketchy grasp of history, geography and political currents notwithstanding, hehe, nice chat and good advice. also, Captain America Chris Evans directed a romantic drama once upon a time and in it there was a scene where the hotel art signature was on the back of the painting.

Great conversation - you’re both saying the things that I think many of us are thinking and nobody wants to say (for whatever reason). Very refreshing and thanks.

Excellent interview! I enjoyed watching immensely. Thank you both for sharing! ❤🙏

From one creative to the next. Thank you for this relatable conversation.

Tony’s work - “Hope” has been inspiring me through my journey in the US over the past 8 years. Whenever I feel I am losing direction in life, I can always find myself back by listening to it.

This was such an incredible conversation, thank you both very much. I resonated so much with a lot of this on a very deep level. Also, thank you for the deep belly laughs. Such a wonderful blend of thoughtful insight and true satirical comedy.

One of the few conversations I listened to from beginning to end, thank you so much for this!

I've never heard of Tony before, but man, he's got a lot of great advice here. Great interview!

What an excellent interview - amazing info and guidance … I’m definitely too self-critical - making it a goal to release more.

I really like the long form interviews with artists

Good chat! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the talk❤ I really appreciate the passion driven approach to the search for your own voice, in music.

A lot of musicians out there spend a lot of time talking about how shady the music industry is (which it is). They complain about how underpaid they are (maybe they are). Life isn't fair (it's not). HOWEVER, I'm always incredibly grateful for this period in music. Why? 30 years ago, when I got roped into a stupid Columbia House CD of the month subscription, you know whose CD never would have been in the that catelog even today? Neither of yours. Yet here we are. You're here now, and I see you. No giant media house can stop me from hearing what you do. So here we are... Nathan, I've already joked about what Pandora thinks of you, if you recall. Has that stopped me from enjoying what you make? Hell, at this point I'm fairly certain that I've put more money into the work of this random guy from Mississippi than my mom had to spend bailing me out of that Columbia House subscription in 1992 (sorry mom), and I feel fortunate to have that opportunity. Worth it. There's a lot to loath in the 2024 world, but this at least is real blessing.

2 months late to the conversation, sorry. This conversation clarified the words for the messy thoughts I've previously had. Thanks, sincerely, for having the conversation and for sharing it.

This was awesome. Thank you!

I am so, so thankful for this interview! Thank you!! 🫶🏼

Really enjoyed this conversation, friends! A good reminder to be patient, and work on the craft above all else.

Really great interview

You guys just nail it. Subscribing to both ;)

fantastic interview, thanks for this, i can also say personally Tony is someone special: as an amateur and lover of his music i decided to write to him directly as i was just curious about a synth patch he used in one of his tracks. He was kind enough to reply and explain, in detail, how he achieved that. Who would do that !??! come on... great music, great guy

Amazing video! Thanks for sharing this with all of us! ✨

"Bio" in Germany (or in German based languages) on food packages means organic!

In Germany "Bio" is the name for "Organic" products. ☺️ This interview was really interesting. Thanks

I looked for you after realizing I watched a vid with your song I believe with a slow motion track with skate boarders smoke and ballerinas.? Are you the same Tony Anderson?

Stockholm. Wellcome back to sweden

I love the music I heard things in it I make up words to your instrumental music I would like to see some of the words that I heard in your phone to see if that is what you was feeling it will be okay if it wasn't I still enjoy your music

i'm 3 minutes in, and I can honestly say, "wtf?"

It's a spoof , right !? Building a wall in Berlin , and get "burned" in Paris !? 🧐

Pushing through it and doing an all nighter is adolescent behaviour?🤣 Cmon.. nothing wrong with making it a mission deadlines are great! we all need a kick in the ass sometimes.. If I hadn't had deadlines half the stuff I do wouldn't happen! But hey I´m happy to just make music on your label and just take it real easy.. How much are ya paying?

🤣😂

His attitude towards the writers strike shows ignorance and arrogance. “Just write better stuff” ?? Don’t let your success go to your head, mate!
